Fatima Priest Fr. Gruner & Italy's Northern League Now Team Up With Former Premier Silvio Berlusconi For February Election!



Berlusconi Is To Help Fr. Nicholas Gruner & His Cause?


Berlusconi made a deal with the Northern League to team up for the coming election February 24-25th. It is unclear if Berlusconi will run for premier, he did say that "I am the leader of the coalition and I will decide with the other parties involved, in the case of victory, who to propose ... for premier," Either way Berlusconi is not leaving politics. The Northern League was his enemy now and again.  Looks like they are friends again.

Fr. Gruner just recently teamed up with the Northern League's Mario Borghezio & Lorenzo Fontana to promote Gruner's cause. This alliance is Gruner's first entry into politics.

Did Fr. Gruner have for foresight to see that one day soon, the same political party he teamed up with will one day team up Berlusconi? I bet not!

This is getting weirder by the minute.

If Berlusconi wins, will Gruner pay a visit to the new Prime Minister?

The Grunerites are proud of their first entry in politics - regardless of what the ramifications hold, here is a special report from the Fatima Crusader interviewing the master, one thing to note is when asked why Gruner teamed up with a Nationalistic party he said "time is running out". Wow! Famous last words!

So here goes the interview from The Fatima Crusader:

The Fatima Crusader [FC] Can you tell us what events enabled you to address Members of the European Union Parliament? Father Gruner

[FrG] I can tell you, but it is a two part answer – one having to do with the human elements involved, and the other with Providence. It’s important that we always remember Our Lord is in charge of everything and He has determined that our fate now rests with our fidelity to Our Lady’s requests. The Hon. Mario Borghezio, Member of Parliament representing the Northern League in Italy, asked me to come to Strasbourg and speak to Parliament. Mr. Borghezio attended our conference, “Fatima: Your Last Chance!” in Rome in May 2012. He addressed the conference (see pages 50-56) and his devotion to Our Lady and his faith in Her Fatima Message became apparent. The invitation to address his colleagues was very welcome. And while I give Mr. Borghezio my thanks, I must ultimately thank Our Lady. This is Her Apsotolate. She offers us the opportunities to do Her work. As I told the Members of Parliament, I am merely an instrument. I am one small priest dedicated to this great work. Anything I accomplish is not really to my credit, but is due to Our Lady’s grace.

[FC] Why do you think Our Lady’s Apostolate was offered this opportunity at this particular time? You have been struggling for many years to make the full Message of Fatima known. Now, you find yourself in front of members of one of the most powerful bodies of men on the planet. What are your thoughts about the timing of this event?

[FrG] Time is running out. Our Lord spoke to Sister Lucy in Rianjo in 1931 and told her that, unless the Consecration of Russia was done in the manner Our Lady requested –with the Pope and the bishops making the consecration in unison – that His ministers follow the King of France into misfortune. The reference is to King Louis XVI, who was beheaded by the French revolutionaries 100 years after his great grandfather, Louis XIV, refused to comply with Heaven’s request that France be consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This request was received in an apparition by St. Margaret Mary Alocoque and made known to the King by his confessor. But the King refused. His descendant not only lost the throne, but lost his head as well. We are nearing the 100-year mark since the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima in 1917. We have less than 5 years left. Her requests have not been honored by the popes and bishops, whom Our Lord refers to as His ministers – but we can also presume that heads of state are His ministers, as all authority comes from above. So, time is now of the essence. Unless the consecration is done – and done soon – these ministers, many of them, will follow the King of France into misfortune and it cannot be good. It seems obvious to me that the part of the Third Secet that the Vatican released to us on June 26, 2000 is what is about to happen to Pope Benedict XVI if he delays much more from doing the Consecration of Russia as requested by Jesus and Mary in the Fatima Message. This vision of the bishop dressed in white, who is killed by a band of soldiers – by bullets and arrows – is a graphic description of what Our Lord meant when He said: “Make it known to My ministers, given they follow the example of the King of France in delaying the execution of My command (to consecrate Russia), like him they will follow him into misfortune.” The death of the Pope in that vision is followed by the killing of bishops, priests, religious and lay people of various ranks. These, too, are ministers of God who are punished because they, too, failed to do what they could – and should – have done to do their part to bring about the Consecration of Russia. It might be objected: How could the laypeople of various ranks be included in this chastisement? As we mentioned above, politicians and world leaders are also ministers of God. But it should be pointed out that men of financial wealth are also ministers or stewards of that wealth which God has entrusted to them. In the approved apparition of Quito, Ecuador, of Our Lady of Good Success, we are told that one of the causes of our present-day crises in the Church and the world is the refusal of wealthy Catholics to contribute significantly to Catholic apostolates – that are ready, capable and willing to reverse this moral and spiritual decay in the Church and the world. For example, our Apostolate – this Apostolate of Our Lady of Fatima – in my estimation, could do 10 to 100 times more (that’s ten to one hundred!) than we now. But we do not have all the necessary financial means to do everything we could and should do. With one and a half to two times more in yearly total financial donations, perhaps we could bring about enough public awareness of the full Fatima Message – especially the urgent need for the Consecration of Russia – to cause Our Lady’s triumph very, very soon. Unfortunately, because very few wealthy Catholics – to their own detriment – know and understand the absolutely monumental importance and urgency of the Fatima Message, they don’t give anywhere near enough of what they could to promote Our Lady of Fatima and Her ONE AND ONLY Peace Plan that will deliver us and them from the emerging New World Order tyranny. Some would help if they understood that by not supporting this apostolate and doing what they can to bring about the fulfillment of Our Lady’s request – they are placing their own life and wealth and soul in grave jeopardy – not to mention the devastating catastrophies that continue to befall the Church and mankind. Others of the wealthy apparently think only of themselves and refrain from extending financial aid to needy and necessary apostolates such as our own. Our Lady told us that unless She were obeyed, nations would be annihilated. So not only do Church officials and heads of state face imminent disaster, but all of us may soon pay the price for this foolish refusal to do the simple things Our Lady has promised will avert disaster and bring us the blessings of peace.

[FC] Do you think the members of the European Parliament realize that the clock is ticking and that disaster is looming?

[FrG] They certainly realize this, although they might not understand the cause of it and the only real solution. That’s why we went to Strasbourg: to tell them what is happening and why and to show them what they can do about it – that is, how they can encourage the Pope and the bishops to do the only thing that can help us at this point in history.

[FC] But the European Union is not founded on Christian principles. Many Members of Parliament are avowedly opposed to Christian teaching, especially in the realm of sexual morality. How can they even comprehend the Message of Fatima without faith?

[FrG] The Members of Parliament know they and their own countries are in trouble. They are becoming desperate for a solution to the many problems they face, especially the financial problems. We may think that these financial problems will only affect those who work in the financial sector of the workplace – but that is not so. The financial problems we are talking about will affect every man, woman and child on the face of the earth. The financial problems loomingover us will, if not averted, soon cause the breakdown of everyday transactions like buying your groceries or paying for electricity to your home. These may all come to a complete stop – no buying, no selling, no work, no ability to feed yourself or your family – all of this caused by real financial problems that can ultimately only be solved peacefully and justly by the Consecration of Russia.

[FC] Why would non-believing Members of Parliament take your proposal seriously?

[FrG] We explained to those members who lack faith that Our Lady’s solution is worth a try. They have nothing to lose. And if it works, they have everything to gain. I also think it is starting to dawn on some European leaders, including Members of Parliament, that the European Union has no solid, unifying principle. How could it, when only the Catholic Faith can provide it and they are afraid to embrace it? They tried to build the EU on economic cooperation and a common currency. This has failed big time, as everyone can now see. Where do they go from here? We offered them a direction. We can only pray they will take it. We did Our Lady’s bidding. We pray they will do likewise. We also continue to work for the consecration in every way we can.

[FC] Was there any indication that the Members of the European Parliament took your words to heart?

[FrG] Yes, I think so. We received much encouragement from those who signed the petition. And the media was very interested. We were interviewed by both broadcast and print journalists, so the wider public – the constituents of the Members of Parliament – knew about what was going on. An effective way to influence a politician is to go through his constituents. And this is most effectively done through the media. Along with the attention we received in the secular press and broadcast media, we were also interviewed by Fatima TV in Rome and Fatima TV WorldWide on the Web to talk about the event. We made our mark – in Strasbourg and in Rome. And we won’t let up. Our Lady has given us the media tools and the opportunity. By the grace of God, we will use them to the utmost.

[FC] Do you think that Pope Benedict XVI and the bishops took note of what happened in Strasbourg? Do you think they will respond?

[FrG] Of course, I can’t predict just what will happen and when. But I know that Our Lady said Russia will be consecrated in the manner She desires “in the end.” The end of what – is the big question. The end of a terrible period of chastisement, after nations are annihilated? I hope and pray this isn’t the case. I think Pope Benedict knows how dire the situation is. He may be looking for the sort of assurance and encouragement we are trying to provide. Unfortunately, the Church has been very worried about public opinion – its media image – since Vatican II. In consequence, as the world has become more godless and morally depraved, the Church has become more timid about proclaiming her moral and doctrinal authority. It’s obvious the Holy Father wants to begin a New Evangelization, as he calls it. Fatima is the key. We want to help him see this. And if we can pick up some political support for the consecration, the Pope may be emboldened to act. Once an idea – no matter how seemingly strange – is introduced into the mind of the public, it loses its strangeness. Look at the things that are now considered normal by the public: abortion, pornography, etc. If familiarity can make evil things tolerable, it can certainly win hearts and minds for good things. We have introduced Fatima as a topic of public conversation in the media, in the realm of politics. The more people hear and learn about it, the more they will consider it a viable alternative, especially as other solutions keep failing and the situation worsens. The Pope and the bishops live in the world of the media, of politics, as do we all now. Fatima is now part of that world. Fatima is the only hope for that world. This was our message, Our Lady’s Message.

[FC] Is there anything an ordinary layperson can do to help bring about the consecration?

[FrG] Every ordinary layperson is a potentially extraordinary saint. When we cooperate with grace, amazing things happen to us and through us. I think one of the keys to the consecration is for the laity to live the Fatima Message. This means praying the Rosary every day and making the First Saturday devotions every first Saturday. But it also means always being focused on Our Lady, on Her Immaculate Heart; living in purity and love; and, of course, we can be pro-active in Her cause – petitioning the Pope and our bishop, petitioning our legislative representative, letting our neighbors know about Fatima. Supporting this apostolate is a great way to become part of the effort to bring about the consecration. We need all the help we can get. So I would invite everyone to join Our Lady’s Apostolate in every way they can. As we explained to the Members of the European Parliament – You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
